Yay! Today is recipe day. Enjoy this one sent to by Mike at Alamo Drafthouse. This drink was created for the Harry Potter Feast, but you can order it even if you aren't watching Harry Potter.
Butter Beer
1 gallons apple cider
4 tablespoons butter (1/4 cup)
1 cups brown sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream
1tsp kosher salt
2 cinnamon stick
1tbs cloves
2 each nutmeg
1tbs allspice berries
In a large pot combine the cloves, cinnamon and allspice with the cider. Heat to a simmer and let cook for 15 minutes. In a smaller pot heat the butter and sugar together until it becomes fluid like, losing its graininess, then add the cream and salt until combined. This makes the butterscotch. Whip the butterscotch into the cider. Label and refrigerate.
After making the mix, add one part of this to one part Woodchuck (alcoholic) cider for the alcoholic version or one part sprite for the non-alcoholic version.

you left out the amount of butter for this post!
ReplyDeleteYes please how much butterscotch goes into this?
ReplyDeleteOops, sorry. I fixed it. All the butterscotch goes into the cider. Use 4 oz butter. The butterscotch is also really good over ice cream.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tried this out this weekend, it was wonderful!

ReplyDeleteHi thanks for posting this - it is delicious at the alamo! I just have a question about the nutmeg - 2 each? Is that teaspoons? Thanks!
ReplyDelete2 whole nutmegs, I think. You can probably substitute with 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
